Chapter 633: Fine, let the Beihan Royal Family compensate
Yun Mujiu reminded again: "Your Majesty, although Wang Gou did not do anything wrong to me, he had bad intentions towards me and should be punished. As for Princess Gaoyang's personal maid, Xiao Cui and the others who spread rumors to frame Miss Bai and me, they should be punished."
The emperor's eyes showed murderous intent. "Give Wang Gou thirty strokes of the cane, and all of Princess Gaoyang's personal maids will be executed."
The emperor was so decisive and ruthless. Before Wang Gou and his servants could shout too much, the imperial guards tied them up and stuffed sackcloth in their mouths.
Many people couldn't help but feel nervous.
Yun Mujiu didn't have too much sympathy for others. It was others who harmed her first, so she wouldn't feel sorry for others!
Yun Mujiu glanced around, and the onlookers stepped back. They did not make any mistakes, but they were afraid of Yun Mujiu at this moment. Yun Mujiu executed many people at once today. They couldn't afford to offend him, but they couldn't afford to hide!
Yun Mujiu's eyes flashed with amusement. Some of these people were really interesting. Before the banquet started, they were just watching the show or observing from the sidelines, but now they were all avoiding her.
"Princess Bei Liyi." Yun Mujiu's eyes were fixed precisely on a person in the corner.
"Ye, Princess Ye." Bei Liyi trembled all over.
"Princess Bei, why are you so nervous?" Yun Mujiu smiled faintly.
Bei Liyi was scared. "I don't know much about what Princess Gao Yang and the others did at the banquet today. I just know that they forced you to play the piano. I don't know the other details."
She is from the Beihan Kingdom. Even if she wants to work with Princess Gaoyang and others to deal with Yun Mujiu, Princess Gaoyang and others will be on guard against her and will not reveal too much information to her.
She knew that it was Yun Shirou and others who spread the bad rumors about Yun Mujiu being kidnapped some time ago, and she also knew that today was a Hongmen Banquet, but she had no idea how to deal with Yun Mujiu specifically!
"So what? No matter what, you were also somewhat involved. Can you deny that?" Yun Mujiu looked straight at Bei Liyi, leaving her no room for buffering.
"Uh... I'm sorry, I'm really sorry. But please believe that I really didn't do anything as bad as Yun Shirou." Bei Liyi was afraid. On the one hand, she had seen how powerful Yun Mujiu was, and on the other hand, she was afraid that she would end up like Yun Shirou and the others.
As she spoke, Bei Liyi was so scared that she knelt on the ground, completely losing her dignity as a princess.
Yun Mujiu added: "Last time, Yao Leyi and Princess Gao Yang released assassins into the camp, and you were also somewhat involved."
"Most of them were masterminded by Princess Gaoyang, Yao Leyi and Yun Shirou. I just participated a little and said some sarcastic remarks. It really has nothing to do with me. I was bewildered and got involved with them..." Bei Liyi's face was pale and his eyes were somewhat empty.
Yun Mujiu had investigated the previous sneak attack on the camp and knew that Bei Liyi was mostly watching from the sidelines. If she was really convicted, Bei Liyi would not be sentenced to death. But she did not intend to let Bei Liyi go just like that.
"Enough! Stop talking so much." Yun Mujiu turned his head and looked at the emperor and empress, "Your Majesty, Empress, no matter what, Princess Bei is also wrong and should be punished."
The queen nodded, and the emperor raised his hand to press his temple, his head started to hurt again.
Yun Mujiu pretended to talk to himself: "Hmm...what should I punish him with?"
"Money." Ye Xiaohan continued.
Yun Mujiu's eyes lit up, "Good idea! Princess Bei is also Zhong Yue's guest, so corporal punishment is definitely not allowed."
"Yes." Ye Xiaohan raised the corner of his lips, "Let the Beihan Royal Family compensate my princess with a sum of money, which will be regarded as compensation for her recovery."
Yun Mujiu smiled shyly: "Your Majesty is right."
The emperor finally found an opportunity to interrupt: "Ye Wang, how much compensation do you think we should ask the Emperor of Beihan for?"
Ye Xiaohan said: "Two million taels."
The emperor breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, Ye Xiaohan did not ask for too much. If he had openly provoked Beihan's hatred towards Zhongyue, it would have been very bad.
Bei Liyi was also a well-known little princess in Beihan, and she was able to get the Emperor of Beihan to pay the two million taels of silver. Bei Liyi breathed a sigh of relief: "No problem."
"Okay," Ye Xiaohan's eyes darkened, "I am waiting for the Beihan people to send two million taels of gold to the Ye Palace."
"What!" Bei Liyi was shocked, "Isn't it silver?"
Yun Mujiu rolled his eyes: "Two million taels of silver, who are you going to give them to? Besides, the prince didn't say 'silver'."
Some people at the scene laughed secretly, mocking the fact that Bei Liyi was being played around by the sinister Night King and his wife.
Bei Liyi looked at Ye Xiaohan with tenderness in her eyes, but Ye Xiaohan had a cold expression on his face.
"You think it's too little? Five million taels of gold." This time Ye Xiaohan's tone was firm.
The emperor hurriedly interrupted Bei Liyi's thoughts and said, "Okay, then let's do as King Ye says. I will write a letter to Emperor Beihan to explain the situation."
Five million taels of gold would not force Beihan to the point of going to war.
Although the emperor regards the Night King as a thorn in his side, he still stands with the Night King in public when facing people from other countries. He also takes the opportunity to strike back at Princess Bei's Beihan envoys. Besides, if Beihan suffers, Zhongyue will benefit. Why not do it?
Bei Liyi saw Ye Xiaohan's cold expression and dared not disobey him any further. If she continued to protest, the Night King might offer a higher price. It was five million taels of gold now, and her father might abandon her because of this amount? If the Night King offered a higher amount, she might be tortured to death by the Beihan royal family!
"Princess Beiliyi has repeatedly interfered in the affairs of the Zhongyue royal family and dignitaries. She has evil intentions and is of poor moral character. I order Princess Beiliyi and the Beihan envoy group to be confined to the envoy's courtyard and are not allowed to go out without reason."
After the emperor gave this order, everyone realized that the Beihan envoys were in trouble and would no longer be able to move freely within the capital.
At the same time, it also means that Princess Beihan cannot have too much contact with people in the capital. She can't even contact people, let alone discuss the marriage between Beihan and Zhongyue. Princess Beihan's mission to Zhongyue for marriage is completely ruined!
Bei Liyi's heart was broken. Who knows when she will be released from confinement! How can she cultivate a relationship with the Night King if she can't see him?
The emperor added: "You can travel when you figure it out." It is up to him to decide whether Princess Bei has figured it out or not. If Princess Bei does not give her the nod, she can forget about going out.
Ye Xiaohan said calmly: "This king orders the Beihan royal family to send all five million taels of gold to the Yewang Mansion within two months."
Bei Liyi swallowed her sadness, thanked the emperor, and kowtowed to Ye Xiaohan.
The emperor asked, "King Ye, Princess Ye, are you satisfied?"
Ye Xiaohan said calmly: "Your Majesty handled it truthfully and impartially. I think it is very good."
Yun Mujiu said calmly: "Thank you, Your Majesty, for upholding justice."
The emperor gritted his teeth. Today's situation was completely beyond his control. He was completely led by Ye Xiaohan and Yun Mujiu.
Everyone looked exhausted. Ye Xiaohan said, "Your Majesty, I brought a few guards with me. Let them carry out the execution."
The emperor waved his hand, "You decide."
Ye Xiaohan raised his hand, and a group of personal guards stood up and dragged aside all those people who were ordered to be punished by the emperor just now...
